Instructor: Katherine Oldfield, ND

Dr. Oldfield is a Washington state native who relocated to Nelson BC with her family in 2017. She owns Counter Cultured foods, a fermented food company soon to be based out of Salmo. She will also have a small medical practice in Salmo. She graduated from Bastyr University in 2000 and is still the medical director for West Seattle Natural Medicine, a multi-practitioner clinic in Seattle.
